One Grave at a Time Jeaniene Frost 9780061783197 Books

I'm just going to come right out and say it- I didn't care at all about the Kramer ghost plot line. He was a sub par, annoying, cliche villian. I thought that the Kramer storyline was just a sub plot that would be resolved in the first like 25% of the book and then we would move on to more interesting things....like helping Tate and the old team figure out what the heck was going on with the leadership of the unit. Instead that storyline lasted the entire book. To me it was just not an engaging plot line- maybe for the Winchester brothers in the show Supernatural but not for Cat and Bones.

Storyline aside- I still loved Cat and Bones. I wish Cat would feed from other vampires though- I think it would be interesting for her to experience other powers other than Bones. I'm hoping due to the voices issues that will be coming soon (since that wasn't resolved in this book). I liked the faux breakup scene between them. I also liked the amount of trust they showed in each other and neither did anything TOO reckless so that was good.

VLAD? Where were you? Oh yea, this stupid ghost storyline was too beneath you and Merchenes to have to come help. I just couldn't get excited about Fabian having such a main role. I wanted more Vlad and Ian to be honest. And so help me, Ian and Justina better not be a thing!!

Off to read the next book. I enjoyed reading this only because I love all the characters already. This was probably my least favorite story arc though- hate to say it but it felt like filler until we get to the good stuff.

One Grave at a Time Jeaniene Frost 9780061783197 Books Reviews

I have been a Jeaniene Frost fan for a long time and felt really let down by this book. Cat and Bones are a great pair, no argument there, as well as all the other characters in the night huntress world. This book, however, was so boring. I found myself skimming and skipping pages to just finish it. I loved books 1-4, I loved Spade's story, and even Mencheres story which wasn't as good as Spade's but not as boring as this one. The last book (5) was good but not great like the others. I'd rather wait a year for a great new story then read a story that seemed sloppily put together quickly, and not with really any heart in it. If it wasn't for Ian and the other characters I would've stopped reading but I kept hoping it would get better. And really, one sex scene, come one. These books are notorious for their incredible sexualities and chemistry. This book lacked that. A sex flying scene with no detail or real passion or at least not enough to engage me, I expected more. I hope Vlad's book is great cause I have been waiting for his story for a long time like every other fan. I also hope the next book is Ian's story. God knows, he deserves it, and we all want it. I hope Frost does justice to these two very important characters. Spade got his and hopefully the rest will get theirs.
I mostly read contemporary romance, but I dabble in paranormal at times when I want to change it up. I've been hearing about this series for awhile and just never took the time to start reading it. I finally did, and I'm so glad! This series is superb. The characters are real (despite being vampires) and entertaining. The dialogue is snappy and funny. I devoured the first few books in one weekend. I can't wait to read more from this author!
I think that Cat & Bones just jumped the shark in this book. The other Dolls think I'm being polite because they think the shark was jumped in the last book. None the less, book five in the Night Huntress series finds Cat & Bones and their motley crew of allies fighting a 500 year old poltergeist serial killer who is readyto kill his next group of victims on Halloween. But how do you stop a ghost?

Frost leads us through Cat & Bones Ghost Busting 101as they consult with ghosts, then with mediums and then with a group of paranormal investigators. Really the only thing missing was to call the Catholic Church in and perform an exorcism. And why they didn't do that Frost only knows. So why do we care if every year a nasty ass ghost comes back to life and then rapes & kills three innocent women? This is the question Bones poses at one point in the story putting into perspective that yes it is a terrible thing but in light of ALL the terrible things going on in the world why prioritize this? Cat responds quite simply along the lines of because we can. Alright - but really - this may be the real issue with this book. The Challenges that Cat & Bones have faced in books one through three were so tough, so huge, so amazing and now they are battling a poltergeist. Hmmmm. Well - he's a very nasty dude but the whole story is just kind of "Meh."

Here's the problem. Frost is a really talented writer. Her action sequences are tight and explosive! Her dialog is snappy. She mixes in super natural creatures from vampires to demons. And while she didn't create vampires she certainly created a very new approach to the mythos when she created a half vampire who becomes a full vampire but must drink from the dead instead of the living. Oh, and when she drinks from the dead she can absorb their powers. That is creative! What isn't creative? Bones - who so strongly resembles Spike from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", I have a hard time separating the two in my mind; Juan, as the Latin Lover who must flirt with every woman; and now, Tyler, the over the top African-American Gay florist who is also a medium. Frankly, Tyler reminded me so strongly of Charlaine Harris' character Lafayette from the Sookie Stackhouse novels and later Alan Ball's "True Blood" version that I wondered how in the world she allowed herself to write this character. I just wish Frost would move away from the clichés and stereotypes.

The secondary story line involves a new manager replacing Tate as director of the government unit Cat used to work for. This story line is so boring. Frankly - maybe Frost should let that whole government story line die away. She's created such an interesting story line with the vampire network anything involving the human government just seems stupid.

One Grave at a Time was a letdown. It didn't move the overall story forward in an interesting way. The new characters were 2 dimensional stereotypes, and the sex scenes were weird. Really - having sex while flying in the air just because you can. O.o

So - where is Frost going with this series? Maybe it's run its course? I think that many great characters and stories are ruined because they are extended beyond their natural expiration date. Maybe an author can't let go of the character or the publisher can't let go of a success. And when you are as talented as Frost, your misses are much more noticeable. She is held to a higher standard. Unfair? Maybe but I don't think so. Now I ask myself - if Frost had carte blanche what would she write?
